Landon Cunningham’s 9th birthday celebration and first trip to a Major League baseball game changed from a near disaster to relief in a split second(刹那),all thanks to his hero dad.
Landon was looking at his phone while sending his mum a picture from Saturday’s game when Pittsburgh outfielder(外野手) Danny Ortiz lost control of his bat.That sent the bat flying fast into the seats behind the first base,directly at Landon’s face.At the last moment,the boy’s father,Shaun Cunningham,put out his arm to block the bat from hitting his son.
“I didn’t have a lot of time to think,”Shaun said.“Once I realised that it was headed for my son,I just did anything that I could to deflect it.”
“I looked up because my dad said something,but I didn’t look up in time and he put out his arm to block it,” Landon said.
The family was able to breathe a sigh of relief thanks to Shaun,who is a firefighter.Shaun’s wife,Ashley,got emotional when she first saw a photo of her son nearly getting badly hit.“She got a little disgusted looking at it,”Shaun said about his wife.
And soon,Landon will have something else to commemorate(纪念) his memorable big league birthday.
While the bat incident was a little scary for Landon,Shaun made sure it was a day to remember.“My first baseball game was amazing,” Landon said.
1.What happened on Saturday
A.Danny Ortiz fell and his bat dropped.
B.A game was played for Landon’s birthday.
C.Landon played his first baseball game.
D.A baseball bat flew into the audience seats.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段的第一、二句可知,Landon正在看手机,同时给他的妈妈发送比赛照片,这时Pittsburgh的外野手Danny Ortiz手中的球棒脱手。球棒快速飞入一垒后面的观众席,直奔Landon的面部飞去。
2.The underlined word “deflect” in paragraph 3 probably means to .
A.try hard to gain something
B.give something back
C.make something change direction
D.keep away from something
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句可知,在最后一刻,男孩的爸爸Shaun Cunningham伸出胳膊阻挡球棒,防止它击中自己的儿子。由此可知,Shaun应是竭尽所能去令其转向(以防止它打到他的儿子)。所以画线词deflect意为“使……转向”。
3.When first seeing a photo of the incident,Landon’s mother .
A.failed to keep calm
B.regretted for missing it
C.passed out at once
D.thought baseball was disgusting
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第五段的“Shaun’s wife,Ashley,got emotional when she first saw a photo of her son nearly getting badly hit.”可知,Shaun的妻子Ashley第一次看到儿子差点被狠狠击中的照片时变得情绪激动起来。由此可知,她当时没能保持镇定。
B
Have you ever found yourself in this situation:You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of homesickness,as we say.But it is not a distant childhood memory.The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Here is an example:
I had not heard this song for many years.But when the DJ played it recently at a children’s birthday party,I sang it word for word.“A noun’s a special kind of word.It’s any name you’ve ever heard.I find it quite interesting—a noun’s a person,place or thing.”This is the Schoolhouse Rock song that taught me what nouns are and I never forget it.
It seems there is a scientific reason for this.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language.They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
...
Language teachers already know the value of using music and singing.A teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington,D.C.relies heavily on songs to teach Chinese.Hua Zhuying teaches students who most likely have never spoken Chinese before coming to the school.Ms Hua says she uses music all the time to teach children Chinese.
For example,she says,for little kids she usually uses English songs but teaches them the Chinese lyrics(歌词).So it’s easy for them to start because they know the music.What they need is just to translate English into Chinese words.She adds that it is fun for the kids.
“So,I think they are really having fun learning Chinese songs using English music.Sometimes,I think if I were taught English like that way maybe I would speak much better English than now.”
4.What do you know from the example the author gives
A.That song was about English grammar.
B.He joined in his friend’s birthday party.
C.We all can learn English well by singing.
D.His teacher was good at teaching Chinese.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段的“A noun’s a special kind of word.It’s any name you’ve ever heard.I find it quite interesting—a noun’s a person,place or thing.”可知,这首歌介绍了什么是名词,也就是说这首歌是关于英语语法的。
5.What may be talked about between paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A.Why the author put forward this topic.
B.How the author’s teacher taught English.
C.What classes are fit to be taught by singing.
D.How the researchers carried out the experiment.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,作者提到了爱丁堡大学研究人员的一项实验结果。由此可推知,第三段与第四段中间谈论的应该是研究人员如何展开这个实验。
6.Ms Hua teaches her students Chinese by singing .
A.English songs with Chinese words translated by Ms Hua
B.Chinese songs with English words translated by students
C.English songs with Chinese words translated by students
D.Chinese songs with English words translated by Ms Hua
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第五段的“...she usually uses English songs...What they need is just to translate English into Chinese words.”可知,Ms Hua让学生通过唱填上中文歌词的英文歌曲来学习汉语,而且中文歌词是由学生自己翻译的。
7.The passage mainly wants to tell that .
A.the educational idea in America is very advanced
B.the brain remembers language better if you sing it
C.some Chinese teachers are working in America
D.it’s good to study Chinese together with English
答案B
解析主旨大意题。文中提到的两个关于作者自己和Ms Hua的事例都涉及同一个话题:用唱歌的方式学习语言可以增强对所学知识的记忆。由此可知选B项。
